Ever since I installed and then uninstalled a windows 7 display language pack ( there is no longer any trace of it in regional settings ), namely for chinese, that I get my CBS.logs ( reaching hundreds of MB at every run ) filled with lines like these:

"2015-07-18 22:07:35, Info                  CBS    Appl: detect Parent, Package: Package_for_KB3045999~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.1, Parent: Microsoft-Windows-WinPE-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~ar-SA~6.1.7601.17514, Disposition = Detect, VersionComp: EQ, ServiceComp: EQ, BuildComp: EQ, DistributionComp: GE, RevisionComp: GE, Exist: present

and these:

Now, it seems that windows is scanning for updates on all available languages and this really cripples my PC every time Windows Update has new updates, what can I do to stop this ?

Thanks

After installing and removing the chinese language update ( though it was again through regional settings since I could not see it in the installed apps or updates, and though I did use windows update to install it ) and after stopping the windows update modules service and deleting all CBS logs, the problem seems to be gone.

Thank you all for your help.

    Please provide a copy of your System Information file. Type System Information in the Search Box above the start Button and press the ENTER key (alternative is Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Information). Select File, Export and give the file a name noting where it is located. Do not place the cursor within the body of the report before exporting the file. The system creates a new System Information file each time system information is accessed. You need to allow a minute or two for the file to be fully populated before exporting a copy. Please upload the file to your OneDrive, share with everyone and post a link here. Reports in normal mode preferred. Please say if the report has been obtained in safe mode.

    Please upload and share with everyone fresh copies of your System log and your Application log (two files) from your Event Viewer to your OneDrive and post a link here. You can remove any earlier copies of the logs from your OneDrive.

    To access the System log select Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer, from the list in the left side of the window expand Windows Logs and select System. Place the cursor on System, select Action from the Menu and Save All Events as (the default evtx file type) and give the file a name. Do the same for the Applications log. Do not provide filtered files. Do not place the cursor in the list of reports before selecting Action from the menu. Do not clear logs whilst you have a continuing problem.

    For help with OneDrive see paragraph 9.3:
